Folding Front Hitch Introduced

Front-mount hitch maker LaForge has introduced the new HD6/7R PowerFold model to fit standard John Deere 7R series tractors. The John Deere hitch-ready factory-option is not required for this hitch. This model features the patented PowerFold system that allows the operator to fold and unfold the hitch from the cab. The front hitch offers a 14,100-pound lift capacity which means it'll work for tough applications like dozer blades and tillage equipment.

The hitch includes a long list of options including remote switches, hydraulic center link, LaForge's full line of automatic control systems and the Fleximass ballasting system and Easymass weights. Learn more about the new hitch by visiting www.fronthitch.com.
